I have been coming to SevenBell Fitness and working with Gashford for the past couple months. I originally reached out to lose weight and get healthy, but I have felt challenged and encouraged to do more. Gashford's training sessions mix Muay Thai and regular weight lifting with some cardio. In only a couple months, I feel much stronger and have noticed increased focus and energy during the day after each session. He also has helped with meal planning and explains the science behind his workouts which i really appreciate. I've never really seen more than 10-15 people in the facility at a time, and as someone who hates big gyms, it's a super welcoming environments for complete newbies like myself. Perfect place and trainer if you're looking to mix up your workouts and create a real life style change! read more

I came to SevenBell this March to work on building upper and lower body strength despite living with a minor case of cerebral palsy. Upon taking a tour and listening to my goals, SevenBell placed me with Sergio who is a mobility expert and has experience training people with disabilities. In the last 7 weeks working with Sergio, I've gained more than just muscle, I've gained confidence in my body and the strength I have inside and out. He continually finds new, creative ways to push my limits and I actually look forward to what he cooks up every session, so much so that I booked sessions with him through the end of the year. I can't recommend him and SevenBell Fitness enough! read more

I've been going Seven Bells since I moved to Park Slope in September. It's honestly great how chill the gym is. The one thing I hate more than anything is having to wait for weights/machines and I never have that happen when I work out weekday evenings around 7. I got matched up with Sergio for person training and I couldn't have been luckier. I have issues from old surgeries and am prone to injury. Sergio is patient and has a background in physical therapy, so he knows how to set up the routine and modify things so I don't re-injure myself and end up not being able to work out for long periods of time. He's also good with schedules, communicating and just being fun to hang out with! read more

I started doing boxing and Muay Thai with Dino three months ago. I wanted to learn technique and Dino knows his stuff. As a coach, he's encouraging but also lets me know how I can improve my form. There's a dedicated boxing room where we work with pads, bags, and have recently started some light sparring which has been super fun and a great workout, both mentally and physically. Dino tailors the program to you, so if you're looking for more focus on a cardio experience he can definitely get you to sweat. I've been coming to workout at SevenBell for over a year and have enjoyed being a member of the gym in general. It's clean and I love that I rarely ever have to wait for a squat rack or machine. read more

I've been training with Cam for the last 4 months. Cam is great: knowledgeable, patient, encouraging. I've had lots of back and mobility problems and had heard lifting might help, but was also really nervous about lifting because of those issues. Cam took the time (a LOT of time) to make sure I was doing exercises properly and improving my form every week - I never felt pressured to just crank it out any way I could. I'm way stronger now and it feels pretty cool. Other good things: - It's not crowded and I'm not waiting for equipment - If you buy a decent-sized package, the price is GREAT. Trainers with this much experience cost way more elsewhere and it's nice that the gym fee is bundled with the training. read more

I've been training with Gashford at SevenBell for the last 7+ months and I can't recommend him and SevenBell fitness enough. I've done personal training in different cities across the US and Canada, and this is the best experience I've had by far. As we know, personal training is expensive, particularly in NY, and this is the first time I'm truly getting recognized value for the money. When I first began, I had very specific goals in mind (adjusting to a more sedentary desk-job lifestyle, looking great for my upcoming wedding, increasing flexibility and endurance, and starting martial arts). From day one, Gashford established a rigorous and detailed plan that incorporated strength training, HIIT, muay thai kickboxing, and recipe recommendations - and has collaboratively iterated on that plan as we've progressed. He's always positive and communicative, ensures I adhere to the right form, and has helped change my perception on my physical fitness potential. I've already noticed SIGNIFICANT health and aesthetic changes in my body, and I've discovered how much I truly enjoy muay thai! The gym is kept very clean and I've rarely needed to wait for equipment. The other gym members and trainers are friendly and respectful, and as a woman working out in this gym, I always feel very safe. read more

I've been going to this gym for over two years, and worked with their personal trainers and Pilates instructors during that time. They're all excellent and really experienced, and my body and fitness level has transformed under their guidance. Right now I'm working with Noel (Pilates) and Jared (personal training). Noel has been instrumental with my mobility, and Jared is a great trainer. He really focuses on form, taking adequate rest between sets, and impactful workouts. I'd recommend any of their trainers wholeheartedly. read more

I joined Sevenbell Fitness and started training with Cam a few months ago. I have been through many different personal training experiences and every one of them have had difficulty dealing with my scoliosis. Cam is different. He never assumed to know exactly what would work because at the end of the day, how could he? Everyone's body is different. Instead, he took the time to assess me, encourage me down a certain path, gather the necessary data from said path, and adjust if need be. We tried a few different training modalities before finally landing on the perfect one. To say this has been life changing for me is an understatement. Anyone who deals with scoliosis can attest to the pain and discomfort it may cause. Through weight training with Cam, I have virtually conquered that pain. The way my body looks is truly just a plus. And it looks damn good! I have never looked so toned. My body, especially my glutes, have never been more curvy and accentuated, and my strength levels are beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Cam truly knows what he's doing and he does so in a sweet, kind, patient, but stern and motivating way. His knowledge of nutrition is also something that I'll take with me for the rest of my life and has a TON to do with the changes I've seen in my body. He doesn't just teach you how to eat for muscle growth and fat loss. He teaches you how to eat for brain health, joint health, total optimization of the body and mind. Lastly, Sevenbell Fitness is a totally private elite training facility with limited memberships only. What this means for the average gym goer is that you NEVER need to wait for machines or free weights and there are ZERO distractions when training here. They use a reservation policy to ensure there are never more than five non-training members on the training floor at any given time. And usually there are only 1-3 MAX rather than the allotted five. For anyone who's ever trained in a big box gym or just a crowded gym in general, you know how invaluable and amazing this is. To get this level of training at the affordable prices they offer? I can't say enough about this place and have recommended it and Cam to just about everyone I know who has fitness goals they want to reach. Thank you so much Cam and Sevenbell Fitness. Truly one of the best decisions I've ever made! read more

When deciding to move forward with a gym and commit to my fitness journey, I knew SevenBell was the right fit. The atmosphere and staff are friendly and all the equipment you need to transform your body is available to you. The best part though are the trainers. Knowledgeable, and effective. From the assessment to the fitness plan to the execution. I have been training with Cam for nearly 5 months and my body has never looked or felt better. With Cam's training my form is great, I'm lifting heavy and my eating habits have shifted immensely with the nutrition knowledge and guidance that Cam provides. If you're looking to seriously embark and commit to a fitness journey, and be pushed to your potential, this is the gym for you. read more

If I did not choose this gym, I don't think I would have stuck through with my fitness journey. Point-blank and simple. When I first wanted to start working out, I was fairly uncomfortable with the idea of being in a huge gym and having to work out in front of people. I looked for a long time to find a space that was close to me that offered privacy. Sevenbell was one of those gyms, and while it was a little inconvenient to get to from my location, I decided to give it a try. I believe it was one of the best decisions I made. The gym is always spotless, never crowded, and I always felt comfortable in the space. When I went here (I no longer live in the area and have since changed gyms) I actually looked forward to coming every day, because I knew I would not have to sit around and wait for a machine to be free, or have to deal with rude people making noise and slamming weights. If you are like me and are looking for a gym that is clean, quiet, and accepting of everyone no matter where they are on their fitness journey, then this is the place for you. It is well worth the price and I could not be happier with the time I had spent there. Also, the personal trainers are amazing. I worked with Jesse while I was there, and I felt he did a great job with giving me a foundation to work with in my personal workouts. Cam (who is like 6'5 and looks like The Hulk after he transforms) walked by me one day and mentioned that I looked bigger, and that my form was good. It felt like I won the lottery :) read more

See all

Nice and chill facility, very clean too. I'm training with Dino (combat training and conditioning). He's great - patient, explains things in details and makes the training session fun. Highly recommend! read more

I've been training with Dino for the last few weeks and it's been amazing! He's helped me so much with learning the fundamentals of boxing and strength conditioning. The regimen he has put me on is challenging but I'm already seeing results. Couldn't recommend SevenBell and Dino more!! read more

I joined SevenBell just over 6 months ago and cannot recommend it enough. It's a friendly, neighborhood gym with super knowledgeable coaches. I've been working with Jacob since day 1. I have a history of knee injuries. My goal was to get back into lifting and boxing while managing my chronic knee pain. Jacob was the perfect match for me. He's super knowledge and patient. Since working with Jacob, I've started lifting confidently again and have greatly improved my boxing form all with minimal disruption to my knees!! Highly recommend Jacob if you decide to join! read more

Best trainer I've ever had! Cam is very specific with form and movement. Helped with my lower back pain and recovery while simultaneously making me stronger, building muscle and losing weight. Seeing results every week. Exactly the type of coaching I've been looking for. read more

I've been training with Sergio, an excellent personal trainer at SevenBell Fitness, for the past few months. He is hardworking and dedicated to helping his clients reach their fitness goals. He is always available, even on weekends, and willing to work around your schedule. Sergio is also very creative and keeps his workouts interesting by incorporating different types of cardio, such as kickboxing and MMA. This has been great as I prefer to avoid running on the treadmill. I have only worked with Sergio for a few months, but I have significantly improved my fitness level. I am stronger, more toned, and I have more energy. I highly recommend Sergio to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer who is dedicated, hardworking, and creative. read more

Great gym. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Doesn't get too crowded. Supportive environment where proper form and stability are emphasized. Thanks in particular to Jacob for being SO SKILLED at observing form, providing coaching, and helping get results! read more

I took 4 months of personal training sessions with Gashford at SevenBell Fitness. My objective was to get back into shape after the pandemic and working from home. Overall, the experience was quite positive as Gashford implemented a program combining weight training to build strength and Muay Thai boxing for conditioning. Gashford was attentive and positive, listening to my needs, and providing alternatives and solutions. Initially, I had some pain with my lower back. This was addressed with leg press and glute press machines to strengthen my back so that I could more successfully work on other weight training like squats. Gashford also gave me my first introduction to Muay Thai and I had made steady improvement in working on pad work and technique. I still feel that I am a beginner but I would pursue Muay Thai further. Towards the end of my sessions I incorporated a bit of cardio using an elliptical machine as part of my session and I've been able to make steady progress increasing in resistance levels and duration. I have built muscle mass and my form, strength and fitness have improved a great deal from when I started. I think the most positive outcome from my training sessions is instilling a fitness routine as part of my week to counter my typically sedentary work week. While I feel like I still have some ways to go to accomplish my fitness goals I feel that Gashford has built a strong foundation for me to continue to make progress on my own. The SevenBell facility is effective and without many frills, but you do have everything you would need for a regular exercise routine. The size of the gym itself can lead to some close quarters at times with other members or trainers. The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. I will continue to be a member for the foreseeable future. read more

I wanted to love SevenBell as my long term gym spot, but unfortunately just seemed to no longer fit my needs and what I was looking for. I wish them continued success - I chose to leave the gym so that I could move on with my fitness journey in a more reliable, cost effective way. Became a member in March 2020 and left May 2022. Skill level: trainers overall are very knowledgeable and extremely skilled at what they do. Each trainer has a different style and strength area (went to three trainers during my time and this was the case). Learned a lot from each trainer I had that I will continue to use over time. Trainers really listen to you and how you're feeling during a session, and are able to adapt well to your needs each time. Friendliness: great people all around, would be happy to hang out with SevenBell folks - front desk always friendly and recognizes you which gives it a nice small community feel. Good energy brought into each session by the trainers Scheduling/communication: started off well with each trainer I had, then fell off over time. Each trainer I had overpromised and underdelivered in this area. Examples include: Was told to send my specific vacation dates for them to schedule me back in but was instead removed from the schedule entirely, said they'd follow up with availability for another session but wouldn't follow up, said they'd send me a sample workout program but never sent it, scheduling last minute gym tours during my training session Business model: I had a preferred membership during my time, but when I had one of the owners of the gym as my trainer I was told that I couldn't use the one personal training session per month that's included with him. Additionally, I felt pressured to buy a large set of sessions upfront Professionalism: when I brought up some of the issues I had to one of the owners (one of my trainers), I often got a defensive response. Toward the tail end of my sessions (when I shared I would not be purchasing more), things got worse - trainers checking their phones during the session (I paid $95-$120 per session), chatting with others at the gym during my session, no follow through to make sure I had a workout program that I could do on my own after injury recovery. I felt my time was not valued as much as a prospective or new member's was. Space: cleanliness okay, started to feel crowded at times starting fall 2021, machine and equipment availability pretty good for the size of the space, smaller gym space overall that can feel tight if you're doing a mat only workout since you'll likely be in front of a machine if the class space is occupied read more

Great place to work out. Love the boxing lessons from Dino--I'm now a contender in the geezerweight division.

I've been working out with Sergio at SevenBell for the last 10 months and have had such a great experience! The gym is clean and small so there is a community feel to it, but they limit the number of clients that can be in there at once so it is never over crowded. Sergio is an excellent trainer and he's great at tailoring our workouts to fit my needs. When there are certain areas that I want to focus on he'll adjust the programming to target those. If I'm feeling discomfort (knee pain) he will come up with really creative exercises to target the same muscles but with less impact. I had struggled for a while to add some consistency to my exercise routine as I would quickly lose interest and stop working out for weeks at a time - Sergio and SevenBell have been the solution for me! read more

I have been very happy training with Dino at Sevenbell. I invested in personal training sessions for accountability, strength training and to learn new skills (boxing in particular). Dino created a regiment for me that is challenging but not aggressive. Every session feels tailored to what I need at the moment. Not only has he taught me invaluable boxing skills but has also introduced some Muy Thai elements in as well. As someone who doesn't love exercise, Dino's super positive and incredibly encouraging attitude has made the whole experience comfortable and fun, while also pushing me to a level I was doubtful I could achieve a year ago. Sevenbell is a small, clean gym. It has all the basic equipment and a lovely, attentive staff. My first assigned trainer was not the right fit so I advise anyone trying a trainer program to be vocal about what you want in terms of communication and comfort level, but now I am very pleased having found Dino! read more

I've been working out at SevenBell for 6 months now. This has been my first experience ever working with a trainer or building a solid routine around weight lifting. Gashford has been an amazing trainer. He's pushed me to unlock potential I never knew I had while minding the fundamentals of good form to ensure minimal risk of injury. Can't recommend him enough! The facility is great. I enjoy working in a smaller space with a handful of regulars--it's so much better than a mega gym filled with strangers. Looking forward to continuing my journey here. read more

I've been working out at SevenBell for about 9 months. I was looking for a gym after doing WFH throughout most of COVID and having had pretty much no regular workout or exercise routine. I started personal training with Sergio. I honestly thought I was just going to do a personal training for 3 or so months to get to a regular routine. But Sergio's been amazing and I'm sticking with him. I do a combo of strength training, HIIT, and sometimes boxing. He keeps challenging and pushing me week after week. And I love that he is knowledgeable and focused on me doing things properly and avoiding injuries and bad form. I really appreciate that he goes the extra mile for his clients from extra gear, messages of encouragement, and sometime joins as my ab workout partner when I was getting started! I choose SevenBell because they are mindful of health and safety, competent and friendly staff, and everyone's respectful. Can't do anywhere where I have to deal with being pressed for money or hit on all the time. It's a great well run, solid gym. I highly recommend this spot! read more

After having my first baby, I really needed a kickstart to get in shape and shed the extra pounds I gained through my pregnancy. I joined SevenBell to get the personalized training to safely get back in shape. I've been working with Sergio for the past 3 months doing a combination of HITT, strength-training, and boxing. The workouts go by incredible quickly, without a minute being wasted as Sergio's quick to transition from one exercise to the next. Since working together and ensuring a healthy diet, I've lost 15 pounds that I feel confident I'll be able to keep off and continue to trend down overtime. Definitely recommend Sergio for anyone looking for personalized training to achieve your weight loss goals! read more

Dino is the man! I like how he uses data to track my metrics and is really good at keeping me honest about my form so that I can build a solid foundation. He also has many capabilities, from strength to martial arts. read more

I called to ask about the gym and what it has, for example, a pool and what kind of payment does the gym take, like silver smeskers. He was so confused and did not understand a word I said. Never Going There!!! read more

I've been training with Martin for over a year now. Having never stepped foot in a gym before, joining one was very intimidating and I'm so glad I went with SevenBell. It's a nice space, everyone's super nice, and they make sure the gym doesn't get overcrowded at any time. Martin's an incredible trainer. He tailors the program as per your priorities (for me, those were posture and stamina) and will happily share the scientific details of each exercise so you know what you're doing and why. Training with him has markedly improved my lifestyle, and I'm looking forward to progressing towards my goals. read more

Worked out with Sergio for the last 8 months. With his background in powerlifting and breakdancing, he was able to not only increase my strength but also enhance my mobility. If you are looking to train look his way. read more

Lots of people think their workouts will get better if they get a membership to a ritzy gym like Equinox. But then they go, and they're still doing the same five exercises they learned in high school, and then they stop going, and they haven't really learned much about working out, or about themselves. Or at least that's been me for five gym memberships in a row. The key at SevenBell has been the quality of my personal training with Cam, and the engagement from the whole team. When I first got there, my goals were really modest - I want to get in better shape, maybe look and feel better. After getting my ass kicked in the comp'd personal training session (with Jesse), I realized I wasn't going to get there on my own, and that there was a whole level to unlock. And eight sessions in with Cam now, it's been pretty badass. I'm getting both the motivation to work way harder, and the education about how to train, which I've already seen translate to my own workouts and my overall confidence and energy level in life. They're flexible in terms of your level and your life schedule, they don't lock you into sh*tty contracts. It's a good scene. Get trained; it's an investment in yourself. read more

I joined Seven Bell to make use of their training services, and have had a really great experience with Jasmin. She's paid close attention to my fitness goals and been super helpful at adapting a training regimen to my work schedule, which involves frequent travel. The gym itself has a really friendly vibe, and I've always had great interactions with the team and other gym members. read more

I've been coming to Seven Bell for a few months and have nothing but praise. I saw Jesse most recently and wow, did he kick my butt. I got the best workout and he explained everything along the way so I understood what we were doing and why. He answered all my questions too. The classes are really great too. You're not going to find a ton of variety as if you join a big corporate guy, but the tradeoff to come here is so worth it. And the classes never get super crowded. The facility is really clean and while it's not huge, it's not small either. Recommended without any hesitation. You'll thank yourself! read more

I completed a personal training session with Jesse, and boy did I get the most out of the hour with him!! He was super helpful in explaining and showing how to correct my form, modified exercises when needed to make sure I was feeling it, and even physically helped me complete my last set (because I was so beat!) Would definitely recommend him as a trainer - mainly because he was super motivating and he knew how to get the most out of me. Thanks Jesse! read more

I lost 10 pounds ever since starting at SevenBell Fitness ~1.5 months ago. When I first came into this gym, I was doubtful. I thought if I could eat healthy (salad every day for lunch in the past 4 months) and do a little exercise 1-2x a week, I would be fine. But I was wrong. I didn't lose any weight. I definitely did not gain any strength doing what I was doing. If I wanted real change, then I was going to have to try something new. CAM completely transformed me both inside and out. He pushes me past my usual breaking point. He surprises me with weights that are much heavier than I had expected. Can I even hold that weight, let alone move it!? The answer turned out to be Yes! He high fives me when I complete a set. He likes to increase the speed on my treadmill and tells me that I can sprint for 10 more seconds. I'm now sprinting at 9.0 mph, which is insane considering how I never ran on a treadmill before coming here (it was always ellipticals for me). He was ecstatic the first time I told him that I lost 6 lbs. He double checks that I'm using the correct muscles every time I learn a new set. He works with me in trying a detox diet and somehow cured me of my coffee addiction! It's crazy how I have more energy now than before while I was caffeinated! I'm astounded on how little I knew about my own body! He's honestly the personal trainer I never knew I needed. And there's more! A personal training package is different from their regular gym membership, which includes access to all their machines and small group fitness classes. I try my best to go to Pilates 2x/week. HANA and KRISTINE are amazing instructors!!! Hana also teaches Bootcamp (cardio), BodyPump (barbells), and FlexFit (stretching). I love her FlexFit class in addition to her Pilates. I haven't tried the Bootcamp or BodyPump yet but I definitely will soon! She's such an inspiration! I love this gym and everybody who works here. I've had conversations with Katie at the front desk about books and vacation. She's always smiling when I see her. Jesse is also really sweet. And Seven Bell, he's a friendly beast. The small community feeling here keeps me coming back for more! read more

SevenBell Fitness is the real deal. Probably the cleanest and most well-run gym I've ever belonged to. The staff and trainers are very friendly and always willing to help whether it's demonstrating the correct form on specific exercises/movements, offering advice on workouts, or recommending nutrition plans/supplements. The gym has everything you need whether it's a solid selection of free weights, a boxing room with a heavybag, cardio equipment, and space for yoga and stretching. There's a good energy at SevenBell Fitness and I would recommend it to anyone in the area. read more

I've been going here for over a year now. Awesome gym all around. Jacob is a great trainer - he focuses on form and tailors his training to your needs. I've really enjoyed being a member here. read more

Been going here for about 6 months now. Great gym with friendly staff. Plus it's always calm with no wait for any machines. I'm working out with Sergio who's been an amazing instructor. He's very patient and helpful, which is exactly what I need. He's helped me to go from not being able to do a single squat into doing them with weights (and a lot of other things). He's also taught me a lot about the core fundamentals of gym workouts, avoiding injuries and we've even been doing some boxing together. I'm feeling much better, in much better shape and with much better posture. Would totally recommend. read more

I started training with Cam earlier this year and its been a fantastic experience so far! I've been working out for a few years now but it wasn't until I started training with Cam that I understood how to really work the different muscles in my body, how to correct my form and how to get the most out of my workout. Cam clearly knows what he's doing and keeps our sessions productive, challenging and fun! I also appreciate the lowkey vibe of the gym vs. other more commercial chains - its nice to be in a space that feels a bit more private. The gym is also super clean and generally a great space to get you in the zone. 10000/10 would recommend! read more

I've been coming to Seven Bell and seeing Sriya for close to a year and I love it! Sriya's really helped me with my form and I feel a lot more confident lifting now. The gym is never overly crowded and I can just about always get the equipment I need - plus, the trainers and clientele are super kind and chill and I never feel judged or watched. Equipment is clean and always in good condition. Not going back to a commercial gym now that I'm a member here :) read more

SevenBell offers an exceptional fitness experience, led by skilled trainers like Cam who personalize workouts to meet individual goals. The low-key atmosphere promotes focus and privacy among members. The gym is always clean and well-maintained at all times of day. I tried a few gyms in the area and this is the only one I stuck with - highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-notch gym experience. read more

I've been going here a year. It's never crowded--usually like 5 people are in the gym at a time. I've been working out with Dino as a personal trainer. Initially it was for half marathon training but I like the balanced and whole body strength training that's made me in much better fitness than I was doing on my own. read more
